Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. Ole Miss. Matt Corral. 9. 58. player
9. Washington Football Team: Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss
Our first quarterback comes off the board at pick No. 9 as the Washington Football Team snatches up Matt Corral from Ole Miss. Corral became a hot topic when he was injured during a bowl game and seen on crutches afterward. This highlighted why so many star players sit out the bowl games but thankfully, Corral seems to have escaped a serious injury and shouldn’t see his stock drop.
He lands with Washington, who needs a new signal-caller to go along with the new name they will be unveiling in early February. Corral is arguably the best in this class and should provide an upgrade over Taylor Heinicke who has been a serviceable player but isn’t the future of the position.
Pick Analysis. Ohio State. 10. player. Scouting Report. WR. Chris Olave. 44
10. Atlanta Falcons: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio State
There are rumors surrounding Calvin Ridley that suggest he and the Atlanta Falcons could use a “fresh start.” Even if they did retain him, however, their receiving corps isn’t as powerful as it once was.
Here, they try and restore it to its former glory as they pick up Chris Olave from Ohio State. Olave, Garrett Wilson, and Jameson Williams all have enough talent to go first but Olave might be the most well-rounded, which is what Atlanta is looking for.
